    Easy rides for first time pillions in Auckland

    Hi all.

    Girlfriend wants to go on the back this summer. So I am after suggestions on a nice short ride to take her on. Less than hour ideally.

    I was thinking of tamaki drive on a week day evening or out towards huia cafe.

    Cheers.

    Where would you be starting from? Makes a difference if you're trying to do a short ride.

    avoid to much stop start stuff if poss.Thats really hard work for a new pillion.You must make your throttle and brake applications as smooth as possible

    Cheers. Huia sounds the best then. Don't want helmet knocking together.

    Thanks for the advice

    I'd probably avoid the roads in the Waitaks for a first pillion ride, especially on a 250.

    A loop out to Maraetai might be good, plus you can stop at one of the beaches for a break.

    True. They can be pretty shitty at the best of times.

    That's a good idea!

    She wants to go to a book store in Thames so that's the likely looking option.

    Will keep in mind your dad's advice ha
